Great, now I have to deal with DoS attacks to play my game?

There is one attitude I find very hard to understand. Why people on here would happily purchase a product that was designed badly with a large number of serious bugs and still be thankful that Ubisoft sold them a piece of crap based on "oh well, once our buddies figure out how to modify the crap out of it things will calm down and we can play it' baffles me.

I would love to hear some of you good people at a return counter in a clothing store after being told "So the pants have a big hole in them...just get a friend to patch them and quit complaining. You should be grateful we're still making pants for people like you."

Yeah, it is an unusual attitude to say the least.

Somewhat invalid due to the sheer number of manufacturers. The quality of the items are, in part, a consequence of the competition: if the pants made by A are crap you'll take them back then shop at B. You can't do that as readily if A is the only manufacturer.

I do agree with the general hypothesis that accepting poor quality at release makes poor quality releases inevitable. So long as companies are shielded from consequences of poor quality (i.e. people keep buying regardless of it) AND it's more expensive to produce better quality, companies will tend to continue with the poor quality. Why change if they don't need to and they make more money?

Well said Steeltrap. That is why I chose not to buy the game and be "suckered" in by Ubi. Gwx Gold still rules the Atlantic for this Kapiteleutnent.

you should... you should... you should...
what about "you should let the man speak and think for himself"
